Choose Wider Collars

Wider collars distribute force better and reduce neck pressure. For strong dogs, 19 mm to 25 mm width is recommended.

Use Non-Stretch Materials

Stretchy materials reduce control. Biothane does not stretch, making it ideal for strong pullers and training situations.

Hardware Strength

Look for:

  • welded D-rings

  • stainless steel hardware

  • reinforced attachment points

Grip and Handling

A leash should provide secure grip even when wet. Biothane maintains traction and does not become slippery like nylon.

Training Use

For training and control:

  • use martingale styles when appropriate

  • use wider collars

  • match leash thickness to dog strength

Safety First

Never size down gear for looks. Strength and safety come first for large dogs.
